The frontispiece illustration from "L'Impromptu de Versailles" by Molière, created by Pierre Brissart, is a significant piece of 17th-century French art that serves both as a visual introduction to Molière's play and as a historical document of French theatre. This illustration, engraved by Brissart, a noted artist of the time, encapsulates the essence of Molière's comedic play, which was first performed in 1663 at the Palace of Versailles. "L'Impromptu de Versailles" is a meta-theatrical play, a play within a play, that humorously critiques the acting profession and the rivalries within it, while also defending Molière's own theatrical practices.

Pierre Brissart's illustration is pivotal in understanding the context and the reception of the play during Molière's lifetime. It not only captures the characters in a moment of dynamic interaction, reflecting the play's themes of artifice and reality, but also provides insight into the costumes, gestures, and stage setting of the 17th-century French theatre. The detailed engraving showcases the intricacies of the period's theatrical fashion and set design, offering a visual representation of the play's atmosphere.

The frontispiece serves as a bridge between the audience and the text, inviting viewers into the world of the play before they have even turned the page. In the broader context of art and literature, it exemplifies the collaborative spirit between playwrights and visual artists during the French Baroque period, highlighting the importance of visual art in enhancing literary texts. This illustration by Pierre Brissart not only immortalizes Molière's "L'Impromptu de Versailles" but also stands as a testament to the rich cultural and artistic milieu of 17th-century France.
